Sufferer And So, I'm Here...

[gypsysoul]

I'm a weirdo... At least I feel like that most days. I served four years as a combat medic in the U.S. Army and spent a year in Iraq. Since leaving the military, I don't seem to like most people, and in fact, many people irritate me, but it's something I'm working on. I'm very blunt and to the point, so excuse my lack of tact, although I can be very understanding. In addition to my time in the military, I have experienced many things such as a sexual assault and a rough childhood, but I don't look at myself as a victim, more like a survivor. Just looking for good people to vibe with and talk to about life's struggles. I love hearing others perspectives on the various challenges, so please share. I'm open minded and know everyone can add a bit of variety and their own uniqueness to situations. I don't get offended easily, so feel free to tell me to "stop whining" and/or "suck it up." I enjoy a good banter, so don't hold back (and I won't either). Look forward to growing with this community.

Welcome gypsy.

Welcome Gypsy,
We're happy to have you.
People annoy you because they're annoying, LOL. Actually I think it's because we have seen real problems and struggles and having to listen to someone whine about their coffee not being hot enough makes us all want to slap them.
This is a great place to start to sort through the mess of thoughts running through your head. I have not been here to long but everyone has been really supportive and I can't express my gratitude for how they have helped me in that short time. I hope we can provide the same experience for you.

Sounds exactly like myself, we both have that in common, so I'm hoping you stay around and post more. We are also both ex military, so we also have that in common as well, good luck.

I'll definitely be around. I hope to hear your perspective on life and how it is being a civilian now.

@gypsysoul Welcome and sometimes being blunt and to the point is a breath of fresh air. :)
